Typically the reply will be that they have a bowel motion one to three times a week.
That's not sufficient for good health. If it is once a week, that is a severe crisis where your health is concerned! If you want a healthy body, start by having regular, daily bowel motions.
So what can you do to alleviate this problem?
Here are some well-known tips to alleviate constipation:
- Drink generously - make it plain water.
- Eat a whole lot of fibre - some obvious examples include leafy, dark green vegetables eg. kale, spinach, chinese cabbage cousins eg. bak choy, choy sum, wong bak, green beans
- Did you know that legumes such as the humble baked beans also contain alot of fibre?
- Some foods don't obviously look or taste 'fibrous' but they contain soluble fibre eg. okra or lady's finger, oats, nuts. beans, blueberries, carrots, etc. These dissolve in water and form a gel in your stomach slowing down digestion, and making you feel full for longer which helps to control weight . They also have a beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity and therefore on diabetes control, and also lower your LDL (“bad”) blood cholesterol by blocking the absorption of food cholesterol. Insoluble fibres are mostly grains and vegetables - both types of fibre are important to health.
- But did you know this one? It works very well for people who love their spicy food. Yup! Chillies are great, natural laxatives, especially very hot chillies. You can serve them as as curry, freshly chopped, plain, in vinegar or with lemon-juice, as sambal or laksa, and in many more ways. A very hot batch will will send you to the bathroom with a real case of trots and more frequently than usual and it will unblock you completely!
It sure feels good when you get that load off and your tummy looks alot flatter and ... there's no more bloating!
You can stop eating hot chillies if you are not a chill-fan once you have stopped your constipation. If you have a very long history of constipation this may not work so you may have to try some 'tough' love that's going to RETRAIN your colon and your body first! You can then resort to this little strategy afterwards, should you become clogged up on the odd occasion.
It will leave you with an unclogged feeling and a flatter, better tummy soon after. You could have bowel motions more than once a day, but this is only for a day or two. It works a treat! is all natural and is a sure way to GO! All NATURAL detox-weight loss tablets >
